a cheese souffle for the table.

What took you so long to reply - LOL.

Yeah, I kind of like that idea. I love shrooms and a creamy risotto is
divine. Thank you.

Nice call- I actually made that 2 nights ago. Trader Joe's had dried
ass'd shrooms for $1.99, so thought I'd try them out at that price.
Very decadent, but please use real parm...

That's BS Cook your turkey and let them eat all the other fixings. One of
my daughters doesn't eat meat and some of her friends are the same way -
they always just eat everything that does not have meat.

The cheese soufflé will give them what that need.

Let them eat beans (& rice).


They can eat

Salad
Vegetables & Dip
Spinach dip & Bread
Stuffing casserole (no sausage using vegetable broth)
Potatoes
Candied Yams
Green bean casserole (check the mushroom soup can)
Dessert with Whipped cream

If you want to make something "special" for them Grill some large portabella
mushrooms basted with EVOO & Balsamic

My lentil soup, or anyone's that has no meat and some tomato and carmelized
onions. My vegetarian niece loves this stuff. Also--great with cheese
souffle.

I have an old recipe I have served in cases like that, based on a
casserole from the Moosewood cookbook.

It is layers, starting with cooked brown rice, then a layer of
lightly steamed broccoli stir fried with chopped onion and slivered
green pepper (then I think a bechemel) and topped with grated Parmesan
and almonds, pistachios, or cashews.

If it sounds interesting to you, let me know and I'll look it up and
post it.

I think I'll make a rissotto and top it with a mushroom gratin with lots of
parmesan. Maybe pollenta? That would work I think. We're just a small
party this time and not enough side dishes to feed them as others have said.
Must make a main dish.

That is about what I did when my son and his girlfriend were here for
Thanksgiving. They brought their own tofu turkey and cooked it. I
made one batch of dressing with vegetable broth and they ate most
everything else that was served. The vegan years got a little more
interesting.

I tend to agree with those who say serve the usual sides and let the
vegetarians fend for themselves, but --

1. If I did want to make something special for vegetarians, I might
make those pretty winter squash stuffed with long grain and wild rice
and dried cranberries.

2. I thought of this thread when I saw this recipe for sweet potato
tamales in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. To make it vegetarian,
just use vegetable stock in place of the chicken or turkey stock.

From:
http://projects.eveningedge.com/reci...s-kevin-rathb/

Sweet Potato Tamales
Hands on time: 30 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Serves: 8
Ingredients:

FOR THE TAMALES:
2 large cooked sweet potatoes, peeled and mashed
2 cups masa harina
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups turkey stock or chicken broth
8 corn shucks (soaked in warm water for 1 hour) or parchment
paper cut into squares

FOR THE CANDIED PECANS:
1 cup pecan halves
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 1/2 cups canola oil

Instructions:
TO PREPARE THE TAMALES: In a large bowl, mix potatoes, masa harina,
butter, salt and pepper until combined. Add turkey stock until it
becomes a workable pastelike consistency. It shouldn’t be watery.
Divide mixture equally into 8 tamale shucks or parchment paper and
roll up and tie ends. Place in a steamer and steam for 15 to 25
minutes, or until heated through.

TO PREPARE THE PECANS: Meanwhile, boil pecans in water for 10 minutes.
Drain well and mix with salt and sugar. Heat oil until 350 degrees.
Deep-fry pecans until crispy, about 1 to 3 minutes. Drain on parchment
paper. Serve on top of tamales.
